Hi,
I am a 17/f. I live in a tiny town, full of older people... and in my pre.k to 12 school, there aren't a whole lot of good friends. I am not saying that there aren't people,there are.. there just aren't very many that don't smoke, aren't jerks, won't stab you in the back, wreck havoc, and so on. I have never had any (what I consider) real friends that a person can rely on. Until.. I met this one new girl, several years ago, we were best friends for several years, then she dumped me for my brother Whom she dates, sucks faces with, sleeps with, and excetera excetera. My mom who I live with (my parents are divorced) doesnt seem to care about what I think/do no matter how many times I confront her. She has a boyfriend now (he seems sort of decent) that she spends almost every spare minute with alongside my little sister (who is twelve, but acts like a baby and has my mother on the end of her pinky).
Anyhow, I really need someone I can just hang out with, be myself with, who will make me laugh, and help me smile more. I really wish I could meet some different people, get out there, find a boyfriend maybe, and yeah.. theres not much to do in a little town.
Sometimes I want to go to the city, but I want someone close to my own age to go with me. I am not a very depressed person. I draw,bake,crochet,sew,design,bike ride,play sports,play with my dog, and listen to music. I am very artistic. I just need something more exciting in my life. All these simple things are getting boring. And no, there aren't any clubs or sports that I can be involved in. What to do what to do...

I know it sounds boring, but i meet alot of cool people where i worked at. It takes a little while. The kids at school may smoke or drink but some of them are pretty good people. You can hang out with them but you don't have to smoke or anything. I hope I helped. You know when i first moved to a small town I hated it.. but now when I go to the city I get so annoyed haha. My parents got divorced to. It was a realy tough time in my life. I blamed my self. When they got divored I endded up pregnant. I was 15. My mom is now dating a dude who is a complete jerk smokes weed and has it around my little brother. they live about 13 hours away and there is nothing i can do about it. stay strong..

Well you didn't mention exactly where you live, but I get the whole idea that living in a small town can become annoying. You're right, there's not much to do, but I think that if I were you, I'd meet friends online, I'd go to the city (if it's sort of close), and just involve myself in programs. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the closest city to you, they hold events or gatherings that are free or low cost. Perhaps Craigslist.com can be some help... I'm sorry if I'm not much of a help, but hey, you're 17, and hopefully soon enough you'll move out on your own and get to know places more...
